I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?

I did the Phalen’s Test (you should try it as well, it’s just a 60 second test) and I think I have Carpal Tunnel.

I have to schedule an appointment to a specific doctor to avail my HMO (not US), I just don’t know which specialty? (e.g. occupational therapy, physical therapy, gynecologist, pediatrician, etc.)

    This is really good advice for anywhere and 99% of medical problems. Especially for carpal tunnel, where surgical options are last resort, because the success criteria is closer to “I can feed myself with a fork” than “I can do anything I want with my hands again.”
